LGE-CTS Motorsports To Debut Baja Forged Ford F250 At SEMA Show

LGE-CTS Motorsports is ready for the Specialty Manufacturers Equipment Association shindig in Las Vegas next month with what it calls for the "Swiss Army Knife" for outdoorspeople who like their overnighting.

This year’s SEMA show has manufacturers burst to get their products out there. For instance, there are many Ford Ranger entries from many vendors that range from mild reinvention to major face and function-lifts. It seems that this has been this story of this year’s SEMA show scheduled in the early part of next month. Manufacturer’s Association.

Wares Are Often Concept Vehicles

Those wares are often just concept vehicles, though, the conversions are real enough. Many of them never make it past the concept stage. However, now and then, a truck appears at SEMA, which later goes on sale.

For a while, the lack of full-sized truck concepts had us wondering if there would be any significant Ford truck concepts at SEMA. Well, that wondering has ceased with the announcement of the LGE-CTS Motorsports Baja Forged Ford F250, which would be the “’ Swiss Army Knife for the modern adventurer.’”

The folks that came up with this concept – LGE-CTS Motorsports – have had a clear vision of what they were trying to achieve. They wanted this truck, decked out in a military green paint scheme, to act as a mobile command center, campsite, and workshop.

According to the company, it also acts as an extension of the added by the Tepui rooftop tent.

There’s plenty of lighting thanks to a Rigid LED lighting setup that not only contributes to the overall look but also puts added lighting where you need it. Indeed, it is a welcomed addition to the overall F250 because there’s no added street lighting out in the bush.

The team that engineered this concept vehicle has tried to give the adventurer everything that he or she needs in the middle of nowhere. For example, if they have to get out of a jam, there’s a Warn Industries 10S winch tucked into the front bumper. The winch is a very thoughtful addition.
